Problems:
We perceive the problems in delivery of the specifications as one created by our submitting specifications provided for another RMC alumina facility (Hurricane Creek). We understand now that your plant is specific in your requirements and in hind sight realize that trying to meld the Sherwin Plant specifications and policies into those accepted by another RMC facility was not practical.
Likewise our understanding of your instructions to us (reference documents pages 6-16 through 6-21) were clouded by our services being utilized by RMC at various other locations. Our perception of your needs overshadowed your instructions. In the future we will read, listen and follow instructions ver batium. We now realize that well meaning efforts and intentions can create a nuisance, if not a problem, when they vary from specific instructions.
We are looking forward to continuing services at the Reynolds Sherwin Alumina Plant and hope that you will find us a helpful part of your asbestos program.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Enclosed is a set of our standard technical specifications for asbestos abatement. This set does not include a sample of every section we use from time to time; for example, it contains only one respirator section and, depending upon the project, we use one of three different sections. In addition, these specs are written around OSHA and state-approved
equivalent plans rather than MSHA; thus, editing is required.
We can, with approximately 12 hours of billable time, re-edit these specs for generic use at
the .Sherwin plant so that only the Summary ofWork section would change from project to project. All respiratory sections, for example, would have the same section number for cross reference purposes and to simplify the table of contents.
Our standard protocol with specifications is to spend as much time as is needed up front to
get all involved parties - purchas1-**. engineering, environmental, legal, Northwest
Envirocon - in mutual agreement
-ceptance of the form and content. Subsequent
issuance of specifications then bet
a largely clerical task. So we encourage and
request editing, revisions, rccom: nations, questions and any other suggestions
regarding specifications.
Also, I advised Tommy that our mileage rate for Reynolds is $.30 per mile, this rate is in the current agreement, and this rate will roll over Into the next agreement. Tommy advised
me we are not billing you for mileage in and out of Corpus, and I want to take this opportunity to confirm that with you in writing.
We at Northwest Envirocon are looking forward to serving the Sherwin plant and working with all the fine people there to accomplish a mission for Reynolds Metals Company.

CONCLUSIONS
1. NWE will be responsible for the compliance with the specifications.
2. NWE will not interfere with the contractors progress unless he is in violation with the RMC specification.
3. NWE will develop a carbonless "report of variance" form to facilitate and expedite the communication of variances or a lack of compliance.
4. Distribution will include but not be limited to Jack Barbee, Walter Lew, the contractor representative and NWE corporate.
5. V; "Llr
RMC will have two designated groups with control over the project, the. Environmental-Dept.yr(RMCE) and .Engineering Dept:` (RMCENG) .
,,
6. NWE will have no responsibilities with regard to pur- " chasing.
NWE."wiir provide a'timeframe and;.budget' to .facilitate ' a compliance audit.

Asbestos Abatement Project Committee Meeting Page Two
8. RMC will keep NWE informed of the locations and schedules for upcoming capital projects and maintenance projects, to enable us to schedule manpower and equipment.
9. The flow of information and scheduling of meetings with the contractor (excluding purchasing), will include a representative from NWE. (Without participation in decisions and meetings with the contractor, NWE will be rendered ineffective.)
10. RMC will expedite the resolution of any and all issues or variances encountered.
11. NWE will provide daily logs to provide a permanent record of all asbestos related activities.
12. When requested NWE will provide assistance in other environmental problems.
13. NWE, RMC, and the contractors will have a weekly project meeting to assist in any communication and scheduling problems necessary to complete a project of this magnitude.
RECOHHENDATIONS
1. RMC will appoint a representative from maintenance and or production to participate in the weekly meetings. This will keep the team informed of any anticipated or scheduled maintenance that may require some form of abatement thus eliminating the vast majority of emergency work, overtime costs and production delays. This will also allow enough time to sample and verify that the material is asbestos and the expenditure is justified.
2. Sample all proposed asbestos projects. This facility
has not been thoroughly surveyed. We recognize that capital projects have been scored and determined,
004251
these projects should be sampled to verify the types
.--and percentages ;.of . asbestos contained , in the scope /jof- 'i
work. (Different types of asbestos require different
engineering controls, wetting agents,. etc. for.
-removal.) -In many cases this sampling will' show `some
' areas assumed to be asbestos to Jpe ^as_bestos^f ree.

Asbestos Abatement Project Committee Meeting Page Three
3. Code the contractors time sheets to delineate activities:
Example: 1. Supervisors Foreman Clerical
A - Administration
2. Workers
M - Mobilization R - Removal D - Demobilization I - Insulation
Mobilization - will consist of all tasks including but limited to equipment repair, scaffold erection. containment erection, etc.
Removal - will include the time associated with actual asbestos removal.
Demobilization - this will include the time involvsd with finishing the project after the asbestos exposure is no longer being encountered.
Insulation - time spent insulating.
The reasoning for the coding system is to assist RMC in proving that workers who have been onsite removing asbestos have received exposure monitoring while they were engaged in exposure related activities. It is our understanding that some workers have been onsite for several years. In the event of future litigation, it will prove invaluable to be able to cross reference this data with entry/exit logs to substantiate a workers time weighted average (TWA) - dose response relationship.
This coding system will also provide an excellent tool to associate unit prices with manhours expended while doing work on a time and material basis. It is also useful in comparing contractor performance.
4. Develop a plan to verify, document and identify all of the areas that have been reinsulated with asbestos .materials^ .
Due .to the size and construction dates of this facility, " it is reasonable to assume that most thermal insulation ..
contains asbests. With proper, hazard communipa.tion^.. ^ihaHvertents^exposufes ;can-be":eiimihated lr>:;:Sampling `wIll--'''-

Asbestos Abatement Project Committee Meeting Page Four
Onoe the asbestos has been replaced there has to be a system to provide proof that the material is asbestos free without the time delays and costs associated with sampling. Colored bands and warning labels will not be a lasting solution in this plant and new insulation will quickly look old. One solution is to provide catalogs of isometric drawings to your engineering, maintenance and environmental departments clearly displaying tanks, piping systems and equipment that has been upgraded to an asbestos free condition.
Finally, these are merely a few of many suggestions that we have proven to work in other industrial facilities to reduce the liability and control the costs associated with the process.

Dear Mr. Barbee:
I would like to start this letter by thanking you for giving us the opportunity to provide our services.
>
In response to your request to monitor the activities of Gillman Brothers, apparently they have completed their segment of their contract involving asbestos abatement.
They are currently insulating some tanks. While insulating tanks is not abatement it does require a industrial knowledge and a well organized company to undertake a project of this magnitude to complete it in a workman like manner.
Our investigation of work history was directed to the following agencies and individuals:
